My baby starts Kindergarten today
 

:crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying:

Mine 2 kids started August 21st. My little guy started kindergarten this year too though.....so the nest is empty most of the day now. :( That first week was dreadful. :crying: It seems to be getting better though.

Shopping is MUCH easier now!!! :D

It's weird though. The house is SO quiet. I'm thinking about getting a puppy to keep me company.

Mine started today. He was pretty darn excited about it. The wife drops him off. I think taking the bus would be more difficult to handle.

OK,

Being serious...

When I was teaching it was inportant for parent of younger children to prepare their child for nursury school and kindergarden.

This should start 1 to 2 years BEFORE the child is set to enter. The child should be socialized, making sure they can interact with other children their age for periods of a few hours or more. Play Groups are a great start. If possible in the last year before schooling Play Groups should meet for a minimum of 3 hours, 3 times a week.

The parents should talk to the child in the 6 month period before of the great time he or she will have, of the friends they will make, of the things they will learn. This will pre-enforce the new experience to come.

Next, which is equally important is for you the parent to believe in what you are telling your child. The month leading up to and the first weeks after are most important. The child MUST see you in a positive light...

Re: My baby starts Kindergarten today
 

It was her birthday yesterday? So that's what all the hubbub was about. I was away in Washington all week so I missed out on all the fun. Are you sure you clicked the submit button?:jump:

Oh well, c'est la vie. Happy belated.

Re: My baby starts Kindergarten today
 

Hope she did well !!!!!!!! Our oldest (4 yo) started school too again yesterday. She loves it ! Our youngest (1.5 yo) is still going to daycare. They can only go to Kindergarten school when they're 2.5 yo here in Belgium

Re: My baby starts Kindergarten today
 

i recall the first day of kindergarten and first grade all too well. She balled her eyes out when I dropped her off at school. God that was tough! But she made it through and fast forward to today...she's a 7th grader already....started last week. She's our only child and my do they grow up way to darn fast!
